Saturday, April 18th, 2009 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Holladay Park Church of God, 2120 NE Tillamook.

This free event is open to all who are interested and concerned with issues of growth, development, density and maintaining neighborhood character and livability.

Keynote speakers Amanda Fritz, City Commissioner and David Bragdon of Metro will address the topic, “Growth and Density in the City of Neighborhoods.” Participants will then have an opportunity to discuss and prioritize neighborhood concerns. The workshop will then conclude with a work session looking ahead to the Portland Plan, how it will address future growth, and the next steps for citizen involvement.

The Portland Plan is developing a strategy plan for the city’s physical,economic, social, cultural and environmental growth for the next 30 years. It includes updating the 1980 Comprehensive Plan, or land use plan for the city, which is why citizen input on the future physical form of Portland is particularly important now.

In addition to the speakers listed, we will also have Joe Zehnder, head of planning for the City, speaking at 11 am and participating in a wrap up panel and open forum discussion.
